THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.
The surmounting of Obstacles the Surest
Help to Progress.

The SurmOunting of Obstacles the Surest
Help to Progress.
If it be not true that all hindrances
are helps. it can ut least be said that
the surcst helps to progress are, as
rule, in the form of hindrances. If
man wants to attain to great height
in order to have an extended outlook,
as, for example, Mt the top of Il lofty
tower. it is by series of hindrances
that he is helped upward. At the base
of the tower, rs he enters it, he finds
the first step of Il staircase standing
there as q barrier to his progress. 1t
is, to be sure, barrier only six or
eight inches high, but he can move
never a pace onward or upward with
out surmounting it. In order to pro-
ceed he must lift his whole body above
that first barrier, or hindrance to
progress. And then another similar
barrier is before him. So, onward and
upward, step by step, he is helped by
these hindrances. If the hindrances
were not there, he could not rise above
his present plane; but by their aid, or
through the struggle of surmounting
them, he comes ut last to the lofty
summit, and he has before him the
otherwise unobtainable outstretch of
view from horizon to horizon. And it
is the same in well nigh every line of
human progress and attainment. Mus
cular power is secured by the taxing of
the muscles, in the overcoming of OBJ
stacles to their freest use. Mental
power comes through mental etlOrti
and if there were no difficulties in the
way of obtaining knowledge, the
knowledge gained would not be re-
tanned. Even the affections are helped
by the hindrances to their exercise,
and the barriers that forbid the smooth
running of true love are themselves
aids to the fuller swelling of the flood
of love. No personal character ever
had great strength except through the
surmounting of great obstacles. No
nation ever came to greatness through
ease and luxury. And if this be the
law of progress. then there are no helps
to progress for which we ought to be
more grateful to God than the him
drances to our progress which He per-
mits us to encounter-in order to their
surmounting. IS. S. Times.

In and near Canton are 1875 temples.
Every storekeeper has picture of Com

beggars infest the popular places One
of the temples has five hundred life

each with different expression or with

once had the pleasure of making
visit, with the Governor of the State of
Illinois, to the penitentiary at Joliet.
There was confined in it at the time a
noted burglar from the city of Chicago.
The Governor had promised that he
would have some conversation with him
in regard to an alibi which he claimed
to be able to prove, and which would
establish his innocence of the crime of
which he had been convicted. / had
some impression of the character of this
man when saw the warden, on send
ing for him, open drawer in his desk,
take out revolver and put it in his
pocket. The prisoner was brought in
and the Governor listened to the tale of
his alibi. The prisoner, in concluding
his address to the Governor, remarked
that the executive need have no hesi-
tation in granting him pardon, for,
though. he made no professions of
repentance-it would be absurd to do
that-he had come to the conclusion
while in prison that life of crime does
not pay. He had tried it. He had
been all his life burglar, he had
robbed banks, he had had hundreds of
thousands of dollars pass through his
hands and he was just as poor as when
he began; and, having come to that
conclusion, he felt that the Governor
might safely release him, since he fully
meant to quit the business and follow
some other pursuit for living. But,
in SO far as burglary in itself was con-
cerned, he wished him to understand
that he regarded it as just as legitimate
a vocation in life as the practice of law
or of medicine-or the preaching of
the Gospel.
The Governor asked: elbow do you

Esmerelda--I presume you had q

Hostetter--Well, on that particular
occasion, while I was looking over tho
railing I felt ready to give up every

you had ever been to seap

There was only one man on the yacht
who was not affected. He was n doctor.
He was so accustomed to see sickness
that the motion of the yacht had no
effect whatever on him.

Hostetter-If you should ever go to

little things you want to remember. In
the first place, If you hear the captain
talking about crack yacht don't ask
him if crack yacht is yacht that
leaks. Remember that the swell of the
sea is not caused by dropsy, and that
ships are never boarded at hotels.
Make friends with the steward or stew

you may need his or her services, and

DOMESTIC sERvITuDE.
The Difference Between Tidy, Intelligen
Girls and Slovenly Nuisances.

The Difference Between Tidy, Intelligent
Girls and Siovenly Nuisances.
The question of domestic servitude is
becoming very serious ono. and the
housekeepers are denouncing the
women servants, right and left. Let
us suggest to them in good nature that
the word SERVANT is rather a harsh
term to apply to any one in a republic.
We do not believe that any one is any
body's servant in this country. Ger
tainly the girl who does work in your
home, often we'll born, is no more "a
servant than is the clerk in your store
or office. OF course there are many
coarse and illiterate girls working in
kitchens as ''second helps" or even as
seamstresses; but there are also many
estimable, refined girls, the pride of i'm
telligent parents and the best of peo-
pie, who are doing the same kind OF
work. And such girls are often called
servants" by snobs of both sexes,
who are without tithe of their real
gentility or actual refinement. 1t is the
shoddy habit of calling all girls who
work out servants that is largely to
blame for making such work so unpop-
ular that the best of girls do not wish
to do it. They know all too well that
thoughtless people class all such work.
ing-people alike-ranking the refined,
educated, well-bred girl with the coarse.
illiterate, ill-mannered, very boor of a
girl, and making no distinction between
them. Thoughtful people and fair
minded people should think Of these
things.
This brings us to what we consider
the great fault of the people employing
such services No difference is made
between good girls, good cooks, tidy
housekeepers. intelligent managers and
their opposite-"greenies." who know
nothing about cooking, slatterns, SLOW
ems and nuisances. The girl who does
her work well, neatly and economically
gets no more pay than the blockhead
who is terror and a nuisance from the
time she comes into the house till she
goes out Of it. Merit, competency, tidi-
ness, decency, good manners, good adj
dress, intelligent interest in all work,
gets no better pay than incompetency,
slovenliness, ill appearance, wasteful-
ness, heedlessness and carelessness.
What object is it to girl to be compe-
tent or to do well; the girl who is just
the other way gets just as much rs she
does. 1t is so many dollars alike to the
good and the bad. the excellent and the
trashy, the desirable girls and the nui-
sances. Boston Budget.
